> well, you do get pretty pictures!!!

As it happens, Sandra, I saw an article some years ago about automated uglification using machine learning: teach the ML on pictures from one or more of the horror mags, then get them to "enhance" real-life photos to re-render them in that style. The most horrifying bit was that it was easy to tell that the image of a female English politician (Theresa May?) was processed this way, but that I found it difficult to tell that the one of Agent Orange wasn't the original.
